Goodtimes Goa
Off the hook!
05.02.2006
Hey everyone
Having an amazing time in Goa, not hard to see why it's the tourist capital of India. This place is massive, littered with cool beaches and has a party scene too.
Choka with people, no shortage of bods on the beaches and in the shops. A mixutre of paisty white and crimson red Poms - they're about as much fun as a hard boilled egg. At any one time there've got be anywhere between 10 000 - 20 000 of them in Goa.
Had a couple of MEAN nights out with another planned to start in a few hours. Bumped into some other indo-kiwis in a bar called 'Mambos' and have been hitting it with them. Last night we went to this surreal clifftop club called 'Club Cabana'. Interesting cover charge policy (or just no admission for guys that arent couples...wheres the fun in that?) here, but we got in sweet as were accompanied by a couple of english chicks that I had met the night before. 500 rupees (not even 20 bucks NZ!) later you're at this poolside bar, next to a mansion / club. Seriously, thought I was in Hollywood! Went to find Cameron Diaz but to no avail.... Oh, OPEN bar nonetheless, the cover charge includes all the drinks you can handle. Needless to say it was a wicked night.
Had a mission 2 hour bus ride to Anjuna beach (its only 15km away)where we had lunch with the indo-kiwi dudes. I went to a midnight market before meeting up with them again that night. Got a henna tattoo as well, will try and post up a picture. Maya made a return visit to 'Shalom' and I'm thinking dinner there's gotta be done again.
Umm... what else? Eating delicious seafood on the beach, still drinking Kingfisher. It's still bloody hot, high 30's I'd say. Swimming, but the water's luke-warm so its not exactly refreshing!
Another full day in Goa tomorrow; may be going deep-sea fishing with the kiwi dudes on a boat they've hired. If not I'm hoping to go on this waterfall tour where you get to see sweet monkeys plus check out this 'Saint Francis Xaviar" guy's corpse. Legend has it he was a Portugese catholic missionary who died in the 1500's but his body doesnt decompose. Currently residing in a glass coffin at a church in Goa. How out-of-it is that!
Luvin It!
Nick
